dr_bowtie Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070220/ap_on_sc/ban_the_bulb_8 It's stuff like this thats stupid... But I should refrase this...it's part of it thats stupid... like this... Legislation to gradually restrict the sale of the old-style bulbs could reduce Australia's greenhouse gas emissions by 4 million tons by 2012 and cut household power bills by up to 66 percent, said Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull. the bold part is the stupid part we hear... anyone who believes a cut in electric cost buy a percentage is crazy....with supply and demend...with less used they will charge more for what you use...so the bill will never be less but in fact the same... you'll just pay more for less... EDIT: In no way turn this into a political debate thread....I am not debating politics nor am I elaberating on them...this isnt a place for that kind of stuff...I am mearely pointing out the stupid things you hear to make you fall for tactics...

Well you kinda can...but you have to use hacked drivers. But yeah you probably shouldn't tell Joe Noob that it is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the guy prefaces the series of questions with "What is SLI?", it is something you should just not suggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Septem Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 A friend of mine asked how much the 10p crisps where in a local shop... Pretty stupid. That's kind of like asking how much something is in a dollar store, but that's not an unreasonable question because not everything there is a dollar anymore.
